ReKombinator

Product Overview

Rekombinator is an experimental sound manipulator device. It deconstructs sound samples to grains and recombines them to assemble new sounds. It can be used to re-structure drum sequences, create robotic voices, flanger effects or evolving granular soundscapes.

Now Updated to V1.02 with to implement host automation IDs - so automatable parameters will display in your DAW right away.

Note: Requires the FULL version of Kontakt 4.2.4 (Not for Kontakt player)

Import Your Own Samples

ReKombinator is incredibly powerful and allows you to import your own samples directly into the editor so you can mangle and mash your own sounds. It comes with 40 presets to suggest possible applications.

Grain Envelopes

You can set grain volume envelopes to create a cross-fade between overlapping grains. Attack is grain volume fade-in, release is grain volume fade-out, curve is shape of attack curve. You can also set overall volume of grain playback, which can be useful to automate and create varied volume throughout following grains.

Awesome for messing around!

Getting some really interesting effects with this thing. Great for sound design and cinematic works.

Like Skanner for Kontakt

Skanner is one of my favorite (and woefully underrated) synths for Native Instruments' Reaktor. It mangles samples, drones and does all kinds of crazy and unexpected things to sound samples. ReKombinator is like a version of Skanner for Reaktor. If you like ambience, randomness, noise, drones, soundscapes and honestly, an amazing set of sounds... you will love this. You can import your own samples too. Also, it is way more affordable than Skanner.

Granular Goodness

Well thought out and highly useful tool for pads, fx, and general sound-mangling from the included samples and your existing sample library. Time just flies by playing with this instrument and I appreciate the humour in the design and some of the included presets.

Cool sound mangler!

Very cool experimental pads and sequences out of this thing. I don't really know what I'm half the time with it, but just loading up presets and tweaking away is amazing fun, seeing how fun down the rabbit hole you can go!

Granular playground for small money

Granular is the New Black. This instrument offers a musical way into this sound design field. A lot of different presets show the possibilities. You can tweak them to fit into your mix or you can load your own samples. The sound is somewhat retro as I like it. This is not a scientific tool for physicians but an accessible instrument for musicians.
